Description freedesk.apriori 2013-09-26 06:41:51 UTC

Systemd 207 automatically generates a mount unit for my GPT swap partition. This unit subsequently fails, because the swap partition is already mounted by fstab.

Mount units based on GPT partition types should not be generated if a partition is already found in fstab.

Comment 1 Romain Riviere 2013-09-30 15:12:10 UTC

I have got the same problem, the difference being that my fstab uses LABEL= to designate the swap partition, instead of UUID.

The outcome is the same though: systemd activates /dev/sda3 "out of nowhere" (which it didn't do before) and displays an error, while the swap space is properly mounted and enabled. There is also an error at shutdown/reboot time.

Fixed in git.
